Arrow

my name is oliver queen.

for 7 years, I have fought with only one goal--

to save my city,

but now a new threat has emerged,

a danger so severe it has forced me

to leave my family in order to face it,

and it won'’t be enough for me to just be the green arrow.

to prevent the crisis that'’s coming,

i am going to have to become someone else,

i am going to have to become...something else.

previously on "arrow"...

we see the wall coming down as an opportunity.

man: for the criminals of star city to

-rob the glades blind. -tO reunite the city.

ever since we brought down the wall, your brother--

the deathstroke gang-- Has really upped their game.

they'’ve amassed more territory and power than ever before.

mia: your brother hates you. That makes things unpredictable.

zoe: vasquez is one of the glades'’ wealthiest citizens.

maybe the deathstrokes plan to extort him.

a crisis is coming, john.

oliver: what are you doing here? Monitor: reminding you

what you are doing here, which does not include

interfering in the events of this earth.

-the city'’s under attack. -bY who?

monitor: a crisis is imminent.

someone is coming,

someone far, far more powerful than myself.

laurel: we have to get the hell out of here.

tommy: I missed you, buddy.

felicity: we found ourselves in each other.

moira: you'’re never without me.

beautiful boy.

tommy: what'’s happening?

oliver!

son.

monitor: I warned you not to interfere.

you didn'’t bring us here?

no. I discovered what had transpired on earth-2,

that you intervened to save laurel lance.

i redirected you.

what...the hell happened back there?

a herald of what is to come,

an entire world erased from existence.

where'’s my mother?

where'’s--where's tommy?

where'’s rene, where'’s dinah?

they are no more.

did you hurt john and laurel?

they are alive and nearby,

but now you know that if we fail to stop

the coming crisis,

what you witnessed will occur

on infinite earths across the expanse of time.

how did I fail? Your dwarf star particles are right there.

you disobeyed my instructions

to avoid entanglements on a parallel earth.

you confronted tommy merlyn.

you altered the fate of laurel lance.

i watched her die once.

ok. I wasn'’t prepared to do it again.

you are not a man accustomed to following orders,

but the survival of the multiverse requires

that you obey mine.

where are we?

your home earth, where you will complete

your next task.

there'’s a man named dr. Robert wong.

bring him to me.

-why? -nOw, that is not your concern.

do not fail me again.

john: oliver, we have to get out of here...now.

-who are they? -lOcal gang.

i think we busted up a deal.

nice of you to show up.

where the hell are we?

we'’re in hong kong.

it'’s--it's not possible.

there'’s no way that my entire earth

is just-- Is just gone.

you saw what happened to the scpd, right,

that energy wave, people just disappearing?

that doesn'’t mean it happened everywhere.

the monitor told me that it did.

-the what? -hIs real name is mar novu--

oh. You call that a real name?

he'’s the one that has asked me to be

on this mission.

he is trying to prevent a crisis--

oliver, just stop.

hand me the breach device.

give it to me. I'’m going back.

john: laurel, back where?

to my earth

to look for any survivors.

-it'’s not working. -pRobably damaged

on our jump through the portal.

we don'’t have time to go all the way

to s.t.a.r. Labs.

i--I have to find somebody local.

i'’m sorry, but we need to focus on the mission.

first of all, there is no we here,

and the only mission that I care about

is saving what'’s left of my earth.

laurel. Laurel!

there'’s no one left to save.

the only thing that we can do right now

is prevent this from happening again

by doing what the monitor tells us--

screw the monitor, oliver,

and screw you, too.

none of this would have happened

if you hadn'’t shown up on my earth in the first place.

all of those people that you saw die,

they weren'’t real to you.

they were just copies of the people that you love...

but that is my home,

and those people, those are real people

who are counting on me--

adrian, my sister.

i just got my life back,

and I am not giving it up without a fight.

let her go, man.

she'’s wasting her time, john.

she'’s processing her grief,

and if we have a new mission

and the multiverse depends on it, oliver,

we have to get going right now.

anyone want to fill me in on what happened out there?

mia: I almost got my throat slit.

turns out connor doesn'’t know his brother as well as he thinks.

connor: hey. We'’re all still alive, aren'’t we?

which means what exactly,

that your brother'’s not such a bad guy?

all I'’m saying is jj could have killed you,

and he didn'’t.

wow! That is some serious denial.

to answer your question, nothing good.

what about alberto vasquez?

he'’s safe, but he'd already given jj what he was after.

william: which was? Connor: access codes

to the private vault in vasquez'’s penthouse.

mia: yeah. Well, we went to the vault,

but by the time we got there,

it had already been trashed and emptied.

this is all that was left.

flash storage from the vault'’s security mainframe.

yeah. Don'’t get too excited.

-it'’s totally fried. -nOt to brag,

but totally fried is kind of my wheelhouse.

if I can fix it, i'’ll be able to extract

the vault'’s security log.

finding out what the deathstrokes stole

could help us figure out what they'’re planning next.

we already know what they'’re planning.

jj wants to take over the city.

he needs the cash to do it.

well, vasquez did say the vault was full of valuables--

jewelry, cash.

so we figure out where jj'’s gonna sell, take him out.

i know exactly where you'’d go with that kind of product.

you'’re not the only one around here with street smarts.

ok. We'’ll find jj, take him out of play.

stay here. Fix that useless piece of junk,

and, you, next time I see your brother,

don'’t get in my way.

harbinger sends her regards.

oh. This would have come in handy 10 years ago.

well, it helps to be married to lyla michaels,

who is en route even as we speak.

john, I didn'’t even want to get you involved in this.

i know, but if what you told me is true,

which is that we'’re facing the destruction of...

well, hell, man, pretty much everything,

then to me that'’s the very definition of all hands on deck.

check this out.

now this machine is hooked up to a.r.g.u.s.'’ intranet,

so we can access all the information it has on Dr. Wong.

you want to tell me what that face is all about,

or are you gonna make me guess?

laurel. She was right.

the monitor warned me not to get involved,

and, I don'’t know, if I'’d just found

a way to get the dwarf star particles

without trying to stop tommy'’s undertaking, then--

oliver, what were you supposed to do,

just sit back and let it happen?

i ignored the orders of a cosmic being,

and as a result, I watched an entire world

just disappear, so...

i'’m just trying not to make the same mistake twice.

well, if this cosmic being wanted

someone willing to watch the mass murder of innocent people,

then...he picked the wrong hero.

shouldn'’t blame yourself, man.

well, what about my behavior over the past 7 years

has given you the impression that I would?

got him.
